Set In Stone
Hi its me 4Evermonkeyfan you probably haven't seen much of me lately. I'm posting this Valentines fic up for all you Spova lovers out there. It's going to be a mostly Sprx/Nova pairing with some Otto/Nova pairing too! This is set after the war in Shugazoom (did I spell that right?) happens and its also based on Greek mythology which I happen to be a big fan of! Anyway here's the summary: the team answers a distress call on a ancient Greece like planet and while they are there find out everyone's turned to stone stuck in a maze. When the monkey team gets turned to stone only Sprx can save them! Will he save them or are his teammates doomed to be statues forever?
Disclaimer: I don't own SRMTHG if I did we would have a final season or at least a movie and it would still be on the air.
Chapter 1 A Distress Call On A Different Planet
It was after the war against Shugazoom was safe. Many allies had helped in the battle, enabling them to win. Jinmay and Chiro were playing video games, Sprx was flirting with Nova, Otto was doing something in his workshop, Antauri was meditating, and Gibson was doing an experiment in his lab. Suddenly a distress call came onto the screen in place of the video game.
"Great warriors we need your help! All of the people have entered this labyrinth and have never come out again! We want you to go in and find out what happened to them as quickly as possible."
The coordinates appeared up on screen showing the exact location of the planet.
"I say we shouldn't go for all we know this could be like a death trap," said Sprx.
"Sprx we have to respond to each distress call and these people need our help! We can't just ignore them," said Chiro.
Yeah Sprx are allies didn't ignore us when we needed help and we shouldn't ignore these people either. I'm sorry you feel like it's a death trap, but it probably isn't," said Nova.
Sprx got up and left the room.
"Gibson do you have any information on this planet?" asked Antauri.
"Some but it might be useless. It appears as though they worship some sort of god's and goddess's on this planet and from the information I gathered a labyrinth or large maze where these people are being held," said Gibson.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Otto.
So Chiro and Jinmay packed for the trip and the monkeys readied the robot for takeoff. While they where traveling Nova noticed Sprx was spending a lot of time in his room or just being quiet when he was in the main room. She thought she better go and see what was up with him. She approached her tube and knocked on Sprx's door.
"Sprx? It's me Nova. I just want to talk to you for a moment," said Nova.
"Come on in Nova," said Sprx.
The door opened into a room that was mostly red, there was an open bottle of magnet polish near Sprx and he was polishing his magnets. He looked up when Nova entered the room, wondering why she of all the monkey's wanted to talk to him when he was the one who had nearly killed her. Yet she had said she loved him, but he wasn't sure of his feelings. He wanted to tell her, but was afraid Nova would think he was just being a flirt. He watched as she sat down next to him on the bed, their legs touching.
"Sprx are you OK? You've been up here for 2 hours and everyone's a little concerned about you. I mean you haven't been yourself since the war. Gibson says you have depression and Antauri says we should wait for you to come into the light again. Sprx I'm here for you if you ever need a friend and I think you should stop polishing your magnets and play a video game with me," said Nova.
"I've just been thinking a lot lately Nova, mostly about what you said before the war started. That you loved me too much to lose me. I wonder if you meant what you said or if you loved me as a brother. I'm fine Nova, really I am and I think I will come down and play that video game with you, but I get to choose," said Sprx.
"Fair enough," said Nova smiling at him.
Chiro noticed Sprx come down and was glad to see his because it looked like his depression was going away. He'd been very concerned about the red monkey because Sprx hadn't been eating or sleeping well.
"Sprx it's good to see you," said Chiro.
"Hey kid what's up?" asked Sprx.
"Not much we are just going this planet that has this thing called a labyrinth on it. Gibson says they worship god's and goddess's there," said Chiro.
"OK what's a labyrinth?" asked Sprx.
"A labyrinth is a giant maze that these people are being kept at," said Chiro.
Soon the robot came to rest on a planet with a big building on it that looked like a giant temple of some kind.
"Well we're here. I wonder where the person who sent the distress call is? I wonder what that big building is?" said Chiro.
"You sure do a lot of wondering kid," said Sprx.
"That building is called the Parthenon," said a voice behind them.
The monkey's and Jinmay jumped and got there weapons ready and faced a human no more than 6 feet tall. The stranger put up his hands.
"Please I mean you no harm. I am the one who sent the distress call and you have answered. I am George and you must be the famous monkey team," said George.
"Yeah but how did you know that?" asked Chiro.
"I know many things about you as there are legends written about you. You must come with me, its not safe out here," said George.
Next time: The monkey team learn about George and the planet they are on when a huge snake comes and attacks Nova. Will Nova become snake food or will Sprx save her? Find out in chapter 2 A Snake On The Loose.
